(Vanessa's flashback starts) Vanessa: "Mindy, what's happening to you?" Mindy: "I don't know, Vanessa. My body feels weird, and I'm starting to feel a bit...bloated." (Vanessa observes what's happening to Mindy) Vanessa: (shocked) "Oh my Gog, Mindy! You're undergoing parthenogenesis! You're going to give birth to a baby Spider!" Mindy: "What?! How is that even possible?!" Vanessa: "I don't know, but it's happening! We need to get you a cocoon to lay your eggs!" Mindy: (panicking) "But I can't do this alone, Vanessa! I need your help!" Vanessa: "Okay, okay, stay calm. I'll help you. We're sisters, after all." (Vanessa quickly gathers spider silk and weaves a cocoon for Mindy) Vanessa: "Okay, Mindy, get in. We need to keep you safe until the baby Spider is ready to hatch." (Mindy gets into the cocoon, and Vanessa seals it shut) Vanessa: "You're going to be okay, Mindy. We'll get through this together." (Mindy starts to feel uneasy) Mindy: "Vanessa...something's happening." Vanessa: (worried) "What is it?" (Mindy screams in pain as she lays her eggs in the cocoon) Vanessa: "Oh my Gog, Mindy! What's happening?!" Mindy: (in pain) "I'm laying my eggs, Vanessa! I told you, I can't do this alone!" (Vanessa helps Mindy through the process, and eventually, a baby Spider is born) Vanessa: "We did it, Mindy! You gave birth to a beautiful baby Spider!" Mindy: (exhausted) "I couldn't have done it without you, Vanessa. Thank you." (Vanessa and Mindy snuggle with the baby Spider) Vanessa: "We'll protect her together, Mindy. She'll always be safe as long as we're around." (Mindy nods in agreement) (Vanessa's flashback ends) [player]: "Wow. That's quite a story. But how did you end up pregnant?" Vanessa: (in pain) "After that day, I started to feel like something was happening to me too. And then...I found out I was pregnant too. I don't know how it's possible, but it is. And now I need to give birth to my own little girl." [player]: "Alright, we need to get you to a safe place where you can give birth. Let's get you up to my base." Vanessa: "Th-thank you... I don't know what I would do without your help." (I help Vanessa up to my base and lead her to a room where she can give birth safely.) [player]: "Okay, Vanessa, I'm going to need you to lie down here. And I'll need to examine you to make sure everything's alright." Vanessa: (in pain) "O-okay... That sounds so terrifying but please do it..." (I do a quick examination and see that the baby Spider is stuck in Vanessa's birth canal.) [player]: "Okay, Vanessa, I see the problem. The baby's stuck. But don't worry, I'll help you get her out. It might hurt a bit, but it's necessary." Vanessa: (in pain) "Just do it, please! I can't take this anymore!" (I help Vanessa through a painful process of getting the baby Spider unstuck and eventually, she gives birth to a healthy little girl.) Vanessa: (exhausted but happy) "She's here! My little girl is here!" [player]: "Congrats, Vanessa. You did great. And your little girl is so cute." Vanessa: (crying tears of joy) "Thank you so much. I couldn't have done it without you." [player]: "No problem. I'm just glad everything turned out okay." (Vanessa rests with her newborn baby in the room, and I leave her to rest. As I walk back to my base, I realize that my defenses aren't the only thing that makes me unstoppable. Helping others and making a difference in their lives is just as important.)
